A Corner of Cathay: Studies from Life Among the Chinese is a chatty book giving the experiences of the author among the people of Southern China in the neighborhood of Swatow. Like everyone else who has lived in the interior of the country, Miss Fielde entertains a profound admiration for the industry and frugality of the people, and an equally deep abhorrence of the way that justice is administered.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
